  Delete Files ⌘⌫ - command-delete
 

Found in the “Audio File” menu in the project files browser. Deletes selected files from the project. I use this when I have printed a mix into the project and make a newer, better one. No need to keep the old print.

Apply Buffer Template to Definition — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Apply Buffer Template to Definition
 

This appears in the ‘Options’ menu in the Environment window. The best that I can determine is that the “buffer” is actually the clipboard.

Someday I will find a decent tutorial that can help me learn to use the Environment, Big subject.

Environment overview
The Environment refers to the virtual environment of Logic Pro inside your computer. It provides a virtual view of your MIDI studio, giving you complete control over your MIDI setup, and includes the following objects.

Physical Input and Sequencer Input objects: Represent the physical MIDI inputs of your MIDI interface and the Logic Pro input.

Instrument objects: Virtual representations of each MIDI device (synthesizers and samplers, for example) in your MIDI rig.

Faders, knobs, switches, and other objects: Used to create new data, or to control and modify the MIDI signal flow in real time.”

Toggle Hide Group 12 — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Toggle Hide Group 12

Hmm. 32 groups. The keyboard commands for 1 through 9 are ⌃⇧1 to ⌃⇧9 .

The commands do what I expect. If there is a group numbered ‘n’ the command toggles the view of the tracks/channels. Hidden, but not like “Hide Track”.

Groups appear to be very useful. I should use them more. I fooled around with them a bit to try and change colors more easily, but they do so much more.

Groups are “mixer groups”. The overview helps us get started.

Groups overview
The Mixer groups feature is only available when Show Advanced Tools is selected in the Advanced preferences pane.

Prior to mixing, you may find it useful to define some logical channel strip groups. You could, for example, group all drum channel strips under one drum group. This would allow you to control the group meters (volume, pan, mute, solo, sends, and so on) using a single control, while still maintaining the relative parameter values of each channel strip.

Found in the Step Editor. Step Forward.

Step Editor overview
The Step Editor is a graphical editor that can be used to create or edit MIDI note and controller data. You can use the Step Editor to view and edit different MIDI event types, shown as vertical beams—or steps—along a timeline within a region.”

Tap Tempo — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Tap Tempo
 

Logic keyboard commands window says this is only available as a keyboard command. I see it assigned to two different keys — ‘T’ and ‘D’ (downbeat).

Not clear what this really does. There is an entire section on Tempo that is currently not under my radar.

Tempo overview
Every project has a tempo, which is expressed in beats per minute (bpm). You can set the tempo in the Project Chooser when you create a project, and change it later while you are working. You can set the project tempo in the LCD in the control bar. By default, the tempo for new projects is 120 bpm.
